Let's say I have an InterSystems IRIS instance with 6 Namespaces:

• Foo1
• Foo2
• Foo3
• Foo4
• Foo5
• Bar

And the number of Foo# namespaces can increase at any time for a number of reasons.  I need to ensure that they all have identical configuration globals stored in a DB called CONFIG, so I do the following in my configuration file:

[Map.%ALL] 
Global_SYS=%DEFAULTDB 
Global_SYS("CommonConfig")=CONFIG 
Global_SYS("CommonOtherSettings")=CONFIG 
Global_SourceControl=CONFIG 

This will ensure that all Namespace see the exact same settings when they reference ^SYS("CommonConfig") or ^SourceControl, etc.

Now.

Can any one tell me the difference between %KillExtent and %DeleteExtent with example

Hi Community,

It's time for the new batch of #KeyQuestions from the previous month.

Here are the Key Questions of May chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

Hello!

Trying to configure tortoise GIT in Linux System

NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
VERSION="7.9 (Maipo)"
My steps

1. Enable [write-access](http://docs.intersystems.com/ens20151/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?K…) to CACHELIB database via the Management Portal. (This is required for csp-page with settings import.)
2. Import project in %SYS:

    %SYS> do $system.OBJ.ImportDir("/arch/cache-tort-git-master/","*.xml","ck",,1)

3. Now you can disable write-access to CACHELIB.
4. In Management Portal select the new %SourceControl.

I need to convert dd/mm/yyyy --> yyyymmdd

example

Input = 25/03/1988

expected Output = 19880325

On IRIS version 2024.1.0.262.0 I have a table that store streams as %GlobalCharacterStream.
But depeding on the blob being saved I get the error: [Error: <<MAXSTRING>]

I had that with Caché, but to solve that I'd just enable the long strings on the page System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > Memory and Startup > Enable Long Strings.
But for Iris I can't find that configuration, I looked on every config page from the portal and couldn't find it.

Btw this blobs are stored on Caché and the system using IRIS is reading from Caché and saving on IRIS.

Hi Community,

It's time for the new batch of #KeyQuestions from the previous month.

Here are the Key Questions of April chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

I have two timestamp values and also I have interval time, I need to split the timestamp based on the interval time. Like 
Start Time is '2024-01-01T10:00:00'
End Time is '2024-01-01T11:00:00'
Interval Time is 15 minutes
I expected the result is:
'2024-01-01T10:15:00'
'2024-01-01T10:30:00'
'2024-01-01T10:45:00'
'2024-01-01T11:00:00'

We have JSON type data in a Dynamic Object.  Is there a simple way to export / dump that data to a delimited string or file?

e.g.

Results={"ClassA":{"ClassName":"ClassA","ACount":367191880,"BCount":367191880,"CurrentDiff":0,"PreviousDiff":0,"ReportDate":"2024-03-02 00:00:00"}
"ClassB":{"ClassName":"ClassB","ACount":5352149227,"BCount":5352149227,"CurrentDiff":0,"PreviousDiff":0,"ReportDate":"2024-03-02 00:00:00"}}

I would like to compare two Registered Object and list the properties that differ.

Here are the Key Questions of March chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

When I try to run Interoperability -> Interface Maps in 2022.1 on a very large namespace, I keep getting timeout errors. Even though I add filtering by Category, Text Search, etc... it still errors out no matter what. However if it is ran in one of our smaller namespaces it runs just fine. WRC told us the namespace is too big, however that should not matter on how many services, processes, and operations you have running. 

• Has anyone had this issue with Interoperability - Interface Maps timing out because of the size of the namespace?

Hello everyone,

I am looking for the syntax or the way to use a class created in the "BNA" Namespace (my application) from the %SYS Namespace.

Here is the context:

I have a "BNA" application contained in the "BNA" NS, this application provides a user creation functionality. This feature creates both the user in a table in the application and in the Iris system.

I created an initialization script for my database to be able to reset it at will, this script starts by emptying the database of this data, then initializes the basic data.

Here are the Key Questions of February chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

I have some databases in my cache instance that were created from an online backup file (.cbk). I would like to see the information for these databases in the Databases and SQL sections of Management Portal, but they only appear in the Classes section. I can navigate to the files in my cache instance terminal and see the CACHE.DAT files, and a check in the terminal shows that they are mounted.
This is what I see in the terminal for each database when I check to see if the databases are mounted:
%SYS>set db="/path/for/mydatabase"
%SYS>w ##class(SYS.Database).%OpenId(db).

We are trying to use Git for Source Code control in our existing application. Currently all Source Control is a manual process. We are running IRIS on a Windows server. The git extension has been installed and initial configuration done. We do get the git tab in Studio. We keep getting the following error:

Git Status:
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at 'C:/KBS/dev/server/db'
'C:/KBS/dev/server/db' is owned by:
'S-1-1-0'
but the current user is:
'S-1-5-18'
To add an exception for this directory, call: git config --global --add safe.directory C:/KBS/dev/server/db.

Here are the Key Questions of January chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

Hi,

Our application needs to create system users from a request form.

To use Security classes, it is necessary to have rights to use the %SYS namespace, which is not the case for users who validate requests.

It is not desirable for these users to have this role permanently, so I proceeded as follows:

I created a facade class for the Security.Users, Security.Roles, Security.

Good morning,

I have a question about the python version, I read in the documentation that the compatible version is 3.9.5 for the proper functioning of python on Iris.

Do we have to stay on this version or can we use newer versions?

Thanks in advance

Hello, How are you doing?

I'm currently developing a proyect in wich I want to use %SYSTEM.Event to process queues. I realized that if a queue has events pending to be sent to the listeners, when I restart the cube the queue with all its events are deleted.

Is there a way to store the queue with their messages in a Global?

I've checked the documentation but I can't find any option for this prupose.

Good afternoon, everyone,

I would like to know if it's possible to restore a backup directly from a .DAT file, or if it's only possible to restore a backup made with a .cbk file?

How do we trigger a BPL Business Process on a time schedule?

We are building a production that takes a steady stream of (HL7) lab results messages, processes them and stores them in a temporary database table. At scheduled points during the day (eg 0800, 1300, 1600) the database is queried and messages sent on to the downstream system. Aiming that the Processes to be implemented in BPL if possible - but we are having trouble triggering code in a BPL as a scheduled job.

Here are the Key Questions of November chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

I'm converting a .NET gateway interface (call .NET code from IRIS) from the old "Caché style" that use imported proxy class to the new $system.external .NET gateway as documented in:

https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20221/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls…

For simple case it works and I'm fine, unfortunately I don't understand how to implement/access .NET arrays from IRIS and unfortunately the documentation has no info whatsoever on how to work with arrays.

What I'm looking for is how to implement the same code as described in the old .

Hello,

First of all thanks for your time reading this post, and thanks for your help with your answers, thanks.

We have the following doubt: We need to create a REST Service in HealthShare, to process incoming calls with the following URL's format:

https://host:port/api/studies?patientId=11473564
 

To accomplish this task, we have previously read:

Hi Community,

We have web gateway installed  as a standalone on the web server and when I access it through the direct link https://mydomain.com/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw, it doesn't require authentication it just opens as per screenshot below.

There is a requirement to add authenticate using username and password as with the webgateway installed with iris, I want to get to the below screen before gaining access to web gateway.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Developers,

This time around, we've decided to spruce up this activity a little and extended this rubric to encompass all 6 communities - English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Isn't this exciting?

And this month we have our first non-English entry. 

Without further ado, here are the Key Questions of October chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

Hello community,

I want to iterate through a defined collection/list of numbers for example 1,3,4,5 in my DTL.

Something like

It's a feature of ObjectScript (perhaps widely known, perhaps not) that if you open the same object ID multiple times, you end up with the same OREF. For example:

USER>set obj1 = ##class(Sample.Person).%OpenId(1)
 
USER>set obj2 = ##class(Sample.Person).%OpenId(1)

USER>w obj1,!,obj2
1@Sample.Person
1@Sample.Person

Generally speaking, this is an important feature - you won't end up accidentally modifying the same record via multiple paths and losing some of the changes.
